Do you want to develop and manage global business
systems and value chains of the future? Specialising
in Global Management, you will be able to handle
the challenges of increasing globalisation that most
companies are facing. Off-shoring and outsourcing of
different activities within the company’s value chain are
creating a completely new managerial agenda.
Studying Operations and Innovation Management with
specialisation in Global Management will give you the
expertise needed in order to analyse, understand and
solve the challenges associated with the disintegration
and globalisation of a company’s value chain. Moreover,
the programme allows you to work with innovative,
global business models and systems, and provides you
with a balanced analytical, systemic and managerial
understanding of the management and development of a
global value chain as well as its underpinning disciplines.

Operations and Innovation Management with specialisation in Global
Management is a 2 year (120 ECTS) Master of Science in Technology
programme. The programme provides you with the opportunity to
conduct your project work in collaboration with a company. You will
address topics such as:
• Development of a global value and supply chains
• Managing core processes in value and supply chains
• Off-shoring and out-sourcing
• Development and deployment of technologies in the value chain
• Technology and innovation management
• The interplay of technologies, value chains and business creation
Each semester of the programme has a specific theme.
1st semester: Design of global value chainsHere you will deal with the problems and challenges emerging
from the disintegration and fragmentation of a company’s value
chains. Examples of project reports include: Supplier relationship
management in a transport perspective, improving the use of lean in
a company, and assessment of outsourcing readiness.
2nd semester: Global innovation and technology managementDuring this semester, you will work with problems related to the
increasing globalisation and its effect on the innovative activities of
a company. Examples of project reports are technological innovation
for a “Bottom-of-the-pyramid” market and globalisation
of the technology center at company.
3rd semester: Individual specialisationDuring this semester, you get the oppor-
tunity to design your own semester and
specialise in relevant topics you wish
to gain more in-depth knowledge
about. This may include an internship
in a company or taking courses at
another university in Denmark or
abroad. Finally, you have the pos-
sibility to prolong your thesis work
for two semesters, to reach a deeper
understanding of your topic.
4th semester: Master’s thesisYou will finish the study programme with
a final academic thesis – the Master’s thesis.
This project is larger than the projects you have
carried out so far. When carrying out the thesis, you have
the opportunity to combine all the knowledge and skills you have
acquired throughout the study programme. The Master’s thesis can
be in nature of industrial development, further development of a
project, or actual research. You will typically do your Master’s thesis
in cooperation with a company on a topic you choose to specialise in.

Each of you has the opportunity to shape the project because group
work requires a contribution from everyone. If you have any academic
questions, you may also discuss these with your friends
in the group. The project work is completed with
an exam. While working on your project, you
will also need to do individual exams in your
subjects. Together with lectures, literature
and cooperation with the corporate
sector, the project work will help you
gain a deeper insight into the subject
you are examining than if you had
been working on your own.
With group work, you will quickly
realise that you might have different
opinions about how to solve a problem.
Group work means that you have to
compromise, and you will learn a lot
about how to cooperate. Group work is very
popular in the modern labour market so both
you and your future workplace will benefit from
the skills in cooperation you have acquired at Aalborg
University.
As a student at Aalborg University, you will work closely together
with your fellow students by way of problem based project work. The
Aalborg Model for Problem Based Learning (PBL) receives
great interest both nationally and internationally,
and UNESCO has placed its only Professorial
Chair in PBL at Aalborg University.
Typically, you will be part of a group
consisting of 4-5 students. Once you
have formed a project group, you need
to define a problem together that
you want to examine. Every group
is assigned a supervisor who has
the responsibility to guide the group
through the project. The problem
forms the basis of your project, and
you are to a great extent responsible
for defining it yourselves within an
often very broad theme frame. The group
work ensures a great variety of approaches
and perspectives, which results in a sound and
thoroughly prepared project. Together, you are able
to discuss the details thoroughly. At the same time, you are
able to solve larger and more complex problems than if you were
studying on an individual basis.
